Abstract

This study examines the trends in drug treatment and costs of hypertension in a cohort of 1600 adult Aucklanders between 1982 and 1987. In 1987 prices the average daily cost of antihypertensive drug treatment per person increased from 42 cents to 74 cents over the five year period. The increase in cost seen in antihypertensive therapy in this cohort is explained by the introduction of new and more expensive drugs rather than by increases in the proportion of the population being treated for hypertension, daily dosage, number of antihypertensives per individual or in real prices of antihypertensives.

摘要

本研究调查了1982年至1987年间1600名奥克兰成年人队列中高血压药物治疗的趋势和费用。按1987年价格计算，该队列中每人每日抗高血压药物治疗的平均费用在五年间从42美分增至74美分。该队列抗高血压治疗费用的增加是由于引入了新的、更昂贵的药物，而非接受高血压治疗的人口比例、每日剂量、每人使用的抗高血压药物数量或抗高血压药物实际价格的增加。
